Unlock Your Potential with Prism Counseling Columbus

Individual counseling focuses on exploring and understanding one’s true self, as well as addressing the internalized “stories” imposed by others. By gaining clarity around personal values, identity, and what is meaningful, clients are empowered to define happiness on their own terms and take concrete steps toward achieving it.

Individual counseling sessions are typically 50-60 minutes in length, scheduled on a weekly basis or at longer intervals.  Sessions can be conducted in-person and/or virtually.

Neurodiversity, as the name implies, shows up for so many people in so many ways. In counseling, I focus on understanding how your brain functions, and build strategies to work WITH your brain. We examine both the strengths and struggles and build schedules and strategies to help maximize your functioning.  

Trauma affects so many people. While trauma certainly is the big stuff that happens, also it's the little ways that our world impacts us on a daily basis and chronically over time. For example, trauma is both sexual assault, and also small comments made about sex. It's being physically assaulted because of your race, gender, sexuality, etc, and it's the small comments that make you feel "othered" over time. In our work together, I will help you identify the way your experiences have shaped your view of yourself and the world. We use psycho-somatic interventions to help you rewrite your nervous system and free yourself from the traps that trauma can create in our lives. 

Relationship Counseling is conducted through the lens of Emotionally-focused couples therapy (EFCT). EFCT is a type of short-term talk therapy that helps partners feel closer and more secure in their relationship. It’s based on the idea that strong emotional bonds are key to a healthy connection. It’s not just "fixing communication" techniques, rather it gets to the emotions underneath the fights and reshaping patterns that keep relationships stuck.

EFCT is a highly researched, evidence-based approach to couples counseling that emphasizes emotional connection and attachment. Experts consider it one of the most validated forms of couples therapy.

EFCT focuses on the negative interaction patterns between partners rather than individual fault. By identifying and reframing these patterns, couples uncover the deeper attachment needs and emotions driving conflict. Partners learn to see behaviors like withdrawal or anger as “protests of disconnection” and practice being emotionally available, responsive, and engaged—strengthening their bond and creating a secure, lasting connection.

Relationship counseling sessions are typically 50-60 minutes in length, scheduled on a weekly basis or at longer intervals.  Sessions can be conducted in-person and/or virtual.

I am licensed to provide supervision toward independent licensure to become an LPCC in the state of Ohio. My supervision approach is integrative and holistic in nature, and applies attachment, existential, feminist, narrative, and queer theories. I believe that growth as a clinician is a parallel process of both personal and professional development. As a supervisor I believe it is my job to help the clinicians I supervise develop their own therapeutic approach to counseling that is both firmly grounded in theory and research but also deeply personal and authentic. While tools and techniques are often discussed, I believe it is the clinician themselves who are the most powerful tool. I encourage clinicians to focus on their awareness and understanding of themselves as much as their awareness of the client(s). I am available for individual and group supervision for those professionals seeking independent licensure or supervisory credential.

I host a once monthly Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy Consultation Group for clinicians working with relationships. Attendees can consult with facilitator and other group members in a confidential environment. Discussion on topics within EFT is provided to help clinicians practically apply concepts in their work with relationships. 

* Please note that this is a consultation group only. I am NOT  a certified EFT supervisor. Group hours can count toward Independent licensing as an LPCC in the state of Ohio, but not for supervision hours required for EFT certification. Please refer to the ICEEFT website for more information on being certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy. *
